That is definitely one limiting aspect for some places. We actually have a similar issue, since we're a Rails shop first and foremost. Luckily there are a few tools we can use to make it work well with Rails. Maybe a future post!

I also think jQuery and other libraries with large usage are kind of Swiss army knives, so more people have more use for them.

I do believe over time React will become as pervasive as jQuery. Or possibly even the DOM api will eventually allow a similar style of building things natively. This seems to be happening to jQuery now :)
